@Kadian Ferguson one piece of advice is to have a local investor walk you through the ropes, even if it means compensating (paying) them for their time. 

However, in order to sell and take advantage of the prorated primary residence exclusion you'll have to have owned that piece for a total of 5 years as well as have lived in it for 2 out of the previous 5.  

@Russell NaylorYou'll want to look into a couple of things...The Veterans Administration has a supportive housing initiative to promote housing veterans near where they get treatment for injuries and psychological disorders as a result of their service, or near public transit which can help them get to their sources of treatment.

I can't seem to make the financing piece work.

No seminars promoted.

7000 pieces of mail over 6 months got me one deal which is currently pending.

Hi @Doug Wint, I'm a realtor here in Ocala and I'd be happy to help you with figuring out what to do with this piece of land.

Also, keep in mind that if you send a marketing piece 3-5 weeks between each other and switch up the type of marketing piece you will be able to appeal to a wider niche of potential sellers.Most importantly, have your contact name and number easy to find on the letter so that when they pick it back up to call you the can easily locate the number to call quickly.

Even if it was done under the current conditions keep in mind that underwriters HATE job changes, even if it was for a promotion with big increase in salary, so they will give you a hard time about it.  

One piece of wisdom I've been shared was "buy the ugliest house on the lot."
